Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Masks Off Hooray

I could not wait to get rid of my mask, kicking it into the street.
Entire elementary school was giddy, getting rid of them was a treat!
We saw the smiles of students we have not seen for an entire year.
I am so glad to tear this mask off, nothing at this point do I fear.

I am not yelling “come and get me Covid” but I feel a bell should ring.
I feel like a real person again, and it makes me happy enough to sing.
We are high-fiving each other, and dancing and skipping toward class.
I hope if they ever want masks again, this awful urge will quickly pass.

Gershon Wolf April 27, 2022 at 11:52 PM Fear strikes out, as Jimmy Piersall (the ex-baseball player) famously wrote... That is why Biden, Obama, Trump and their ilk are doomed. They are all afraid (as were Nixon and Carter). ~ Just sayin' Caren Krutsinger April 28, 2022 at 2:03 AM I have to admit Covid is back in our schools, and this time it is not the adults who are getting it, which makes it worse.

Probably won't in my life time. Caren Krutsinger April 27, 2022 at 10:44 AM We have two new cases of Covid-19 in our school this week. GRRRR.
